Pousada Gerês - Caniçada  

Perched in the Peneda-Gerês hills near Vieira do Minho, this mountain chalet overlooks the Cançada Dam on the Rio Cávado. It sits inside Peneda-Gerês National Park and is a short drive from Alqueirão River Beach, Nossa Senhora da Lapa and Vieira do Minho center. Nearby highlights include Bom Jesus do Monte, Theatro Circo and Santa Barbara Garden.
